Welcome to The Whole Hearted Leader Podcast! Are you ready to become the best version of you so you can positively influence and impact the world around you? Does the best version of you look like Jesus? If so, then you are in the right place!

In this episode, I share the first pillar on becoming a Whole Hearted Leader: Identity. Who we think we are is vitally important. When we know and understand who we are and how we are designed (and how others are designed), we are able to fully come alive and be authentically ourselves. Ultimately, you cannot base your identity in anything that could be taken from you. Because once it is stolen, lost, or diminished, your life will unravel. We need to find our Identity in who God says that we are.

I will share also be sharing a brief overview of our Motivational Gifts (or Redemptive Gifts as some call them). These are the very hard-wiring or intentional design of God that is mentioned in Romans 12. Some call these personality or temperament but actually, it is from our Motivational Design that we develop those traits. The problem is, we don't know God's purpose for why we do what we do and and we don't know how to mature and develop the best versions of ourselves. (Stay tuned for more on this topic!)

The Kingdom of God is advancing and we need leaders in the body of Christ to heal up, grow up, and maturely love well those around them so that we may "be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:16-19
